Women are born to lead!

Asian Women in Business (AWIB) presented Born to Lead: Beyond the Glass Ceiling this evening, sponsored by McGraw-Hill Financial and held at their corporate office on 1221 Avenue of the Americas.  The four women above told some amazing stories and their perspective on being women in some high powered positions.  From left to right they are: Sheryl WuDunn, moderator; Julie Yoo, SVP Corp Development at Scripps Network Interactive; Susan Soh, Partner at Perella Weinberg Partners LLP; Anu Alyengar, Managing Director in Mergers and Acquisitions at JP Morgan Securities, Martina L Cheung, Chief Strategy Officer, McGraw Hill Financial.

There was a lot of networking and lively conversations.   I met and got to know some great women.  In addition, McGraw-Hill served some great food, an open bar, and tasty pastries for dessert.  A very successful night indeed.

How I Scored Reebok Sneakers for 75% Off

Yeah, I could't believe I could do it, but I did!

Reebok Easytone Reenew

Of course, it happened because all the sales and discounts were in alignment.  The Reebok Easytone Renew was originally priced at $109 and the Reebok Alpha Cheer was originally priced at $99.  Well it just happens that I got an email from Reebok.com announcing their end-of-season sale and that you can get an additional 30% off with a special code (which of course was plastered on the website).  So I like Reebok because they design and make shoes that are so comfortable on my feet, and I don't think it matters what style, certain manufacturers are kinder to my feet than others.  I also like Nike but I can't find huge discounts on them.

Anyway, these two pairs were on already sale at 55% off.  With the discounts they were $49.00 and $44.50.  With the additional 30% off, I saved approximately another $28.  So far, these two pairs of sneakers cost me $66.  NO TAX and NO SHIPPING COST!  So far, I have a great deal.  And then, I saw that American Express was offering to take off $20 from my bill if it came up to at least $60.  Ka-ching!  Final cost for these two pairs of sneakers came to $46!!!

Reebok Alpha Cheer

It tipped over to become a FABULOUS buy!  Thanks Amex and Reebok.
